7602 Channel Highway, Cygnet TAS 7112

Situated on the fringes of the Cygnet township, this fabulous cottage is packed with charming features. Built Circa 1910, the home offers 3 spacious bedrooms with lovely high ceilings, finished with pressed tin and fitted with classic plantation shutters. The home features 2 living areas creating a flexible layout for the whole family. The first living room has an in-built fireplace adding great ambience to the space, and would be ideal as a library or reading room to retreat to in the evenings, or a handy home office. The second living room off the kitchen also features a wood fire and is a large, light filled space with room for comfy couches and a dining table for entertaining friends and family. A set of sliding doors opens from the living room onto the sunny, undercover deck offering great indoor/outdoor flow. The kitchen is functional, and also just slightly tucked away keeping the mess of pots and pans out of sight when people are over. A quaint bathroom services all 3 bedrooms and a second toilet is an added bonus in the laundry.

As you wander through the home, you can’t help but fall in love with the beautiful period details. The pressed tin ceilings feature throughout most of what is the original part of the home and light fittings in keeping with the era are a great touch. Quality plantation shutters have been installed on the windows in all the rooms, and the windows at the front of the home have been replaced with double glazing. The rustic, wide timber floorboards are one of the best features of the home adding great warmth and character to an already charming space.

Outside, the 898m2 block offers a fully fenced yard for kids and fur kids, as well as a mix of well established ornamental and fruit trees. A newly constructed shed offers handy storage and a power connection is close-by if you needed it. The yard is perfect for kids to run and enjoy, and can also be further developed with veggie patches and more fruit trees. There is a level pad and deck suitable for a tiny home, however the lovely tiny home on site is not included in the sale.

This home is ideally suited to those looking for easy access to the cultural Hub of Cygnet. Just across the road from this charming residence, the footpath into town begins ensuring a safe walk or bike ride for kids and adults alike. Cygnet has a wonderful mix of cafes, restaurants and quaint shops as well as parks, schools and health services. The town is a big supporter of the Arts, festivals and has a great country village feel (with a pub or 2 for good measure!). For a weekend drive, the Channel Highway will continue to take you around the coast to some wonderful quiet beaches for swimming, kayaking and boating throughout the summer. The main commercial hub of the Huon Valley, Huonville, is a short 10-15 minute (approx.) drive away, and you can be in Hobart CBD in just under an hour (approx.) making this home an easy commute for work or play. Please get in touch to arrange a private inspection; I cannot wait to show you through!
